NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL SPLIT
Many DXers and listeners have asked why the domestic and international 
broadcasts in WRTH are separated. 
The first reason is that, in order to get the book out in December (so that 
you get it while the information is current), we have to get as many pages as 
we can ready in advance so that they can be printed before the international 
SW information is ready. We then get the SW information as quickly as we can 
and the rest of the book is printed, amd the whole thing bound, boxed and 
distributed in two weeks. It would not be possible to get copies around the 
world in time if we put the two sections together.
The second reason is that we produce the SW section on a database. We have to 
do this to produce the frequency and language listings. It would be a very 
long job to re-integrate the SW country information from the database output 
into the National listing and we would not get the book out until January or 
February by which time there is only a short time to run on the winter 
schedules.

SW FREQUENCY LIST IN WRTH 2002
There has been a lot of comment over the missing domestic SW frequencies in 
the SW frequency list in WRTH 2002. Our apologies for this. I am finding out 
why this happened and what went wrong. We will make the missing information 
available as soon as we can.
